  • The Christian Response To Injustice Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021
     | 5,046 views

When he discovered that a close friend was taking advantage of his secure relationship to him by selling ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2023
     | 812 views

    Joel gives the judgement: it’s because of the sin of the Israelites themselves. Just the opposite of the faith and obedience of Mary that Jesus wants in His disciples.

     | 7,325 views

    We are weak, if we know ourselves at all. But God is the opposite of weak, and in knowing Jesus, God gives us His power to live for Him!

    Where Do I Find Spiritual Strength? When we face hardships, when we dwell on the past, when we are not being good to ourselves, we can feel weak. And yet hardships are not possible to avoid. The past cannot be willed away or ignored. We are not good to ourselves for a lot of complex ...read more
